Thanks to my wonderfull girlfriend, I am now diving head first into the world of satellite radio, Sirius to be specific. I have a stilletto 10 which is a handheld unit that can record 10 hrs of audio. I havent played with this feature yet, but it looks cool. Does anyone have Sirius and if so what is your favorite channel or program?

I will never go back to local radio, that is all I can say. Riding in your friend's car has never sucked so bad; unless they have Sirius. I have heard bad things about XM Radio , but I have no opinion because I have never listened to it for any length of time. I find myself on only a couple channels on Sirius, I not sure if there is too much selection or just no enough pre-sets.
In order of most listened to:
28 Faction
32 Reggae
40 Hip-Hop
20 Octane
21 Alt-Nation
17 Jam-On
33 Area 33(techno/trance/electronica)
43 Back-Spin
104 Raw Dog

I recently bought a new car with Siruis built in to the console. Though I have only been driving it a few days I think I like it better than the XM that I have listened too in my office for years. As far a music w/ no commercials, its about the same, but Sirius has 2 big advantages in my mind...Howard, and NFL.

Howard was a good move for Sirius, he has some of the most loyal fans. In my opinion FM radio is already dead. There is a great article about Stern and Sirius, at http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/06/news...irius/?cnn=yes
Stern and the NFL along with the news brings national TV to the local radio, furthering our lust for "Pop Culture Entertainment", without morals, a conscience or sensors. The alternative, isn't much better, unless you only like the three C's (Classics Rock, Christian and Country), there isn't a lot of variety in traditional radio. Variety is key to the longevity of FM, people want more selection and they are willing to pay for it. Soon AM/FM will just have commercials and it will fade away just like UHF and VHF did with the advent of digital cable and TiVo.
